Not much point using F11 - unless you really have to. Try F13.
I managed to get F13 booting Win7 o.k., but I lost Win7 hibernation, so I put it back. Neosoft.net offer the free EasyBCD that will allow you to boot Fedora from the Win7 boot menu. Get the V2 - I had to use the beta for Win7, but it looks like it has now been released as the supported version.
You may need to (re-)install grub to the partition boot sector record - which you should be able to do from the install DVD. Especially easy if installing (say) F13 from scratch.
